HW: The Misfits Ch. 1 - 2

The bell for fourth period rang and in strolled my new sixth grade English class. Everyone found their seats and as students wrote the agenda, I signed program cards. I passed out the course outlines and took roll. I reminded students of the uniform and hopefully everyone will have a collared shirt on tomorrow. :)

We read through the course outline about what students can expect in Ms. Nakada's class (lots of reading and writing). I also went over homework (read 20 pages a night, people) and book projects. We discussed grades and how in middle school you get a letter grade (A, B, C, D, or FAIL) and you also get E (excellent) S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) for work habits and cooperation. I know, it will take some getting used to...

We then went over supplies (paper, pens, notebook for class notes, notebook for reading journals). Donate stuff! It will help keep our class nice!

I passed out copies of The Misfits and reminded students to read the first chapter tonight or during ET. 

We then started our blog and came up with OhEmGee :). So there we have it! Our first blog of the school year...
